Mod_perl compiled into apache

RT Users

I’m not sure what the doc means by “apache must be compiled with
mod_perl. mod_perl should not be compiled as a DSO”.

What is a DSO?

I loaded apache-mod_perl loaded when I insalled Mandrake 9.0. But, if I
run:
httpd -l
I get

Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec

rpm -qa returns:
apache-mod_perl-1.3.26_1.27-7mdk

So, is mod_perl insalled in such a way the RT can use it?

TIA

This tag line is identical to the one you are reading.

What is a DSO?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/dso.html:

On modern Unix derivatives there exists a nifty mechanism usually called
dynamic linking/loading of Dynamic Shared Objects (DSO) which provides a
way to build a piece of program code in a special format for loading it
at run-time into the address space of an executable program.

Under Apache, this lets you use LoadModule to pull in modules when you
start your httpd.

I loaded apache-mod_perl loaded when I insalled Mandrake 9.0. But, if I
run:
httpd -l
I get

Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
^^^^^^^^

This module loads DSO’s.

If you had mod_perl built statically (“apache compiled with mod_perl”),
you would see mod_perl.c on that list, like:

$ ./httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_perl.c
mod_so.c
